Decoded Geek Code

GEEK TYPE CODE [GAT/IT/S/P/O]

Geek of All Trades, Geek of Information Technology, Geek of Science (Physics, Chemistry, Biology, etc.), Geek of Philosophy, Geek of Other.

GEEK DRESS CODE [d-(+)]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I'm usually in jeans and a t-shirt.", to: "Good leisure-wear. Slacks, button-shirt, etc. No jeans, tennis shoes, or t-shirts."

GEEK SHAPE CODE [s+:++]

I'm a little taller than most. I'm a linebacker candidate.

GEEK AGE CODE [a+]

My age is 40-49.

GEEK COMPUTERS CODE [C+++$]

You mean there is life outside of Internet? You're shittin' me! I haven't dragged myself to class in weeks. Getting paid for it!

GEEK UNIX CODE [ULSBI+++$]

I use GNU/Linux, SunOS/Solaris, BSD and IRIX . I don't need to crack /etc/passwd because I just modified su so that it doesn't prompt me. The admin staff doesn't even know I'm here. If you don't understand what I just said, this category does NOT apply to you! Getting paid for it!

GEEK PERL CODE [P+++$]

Perl is a very powerful programming tool. Not only do I no longer write shell scripts, I also no longer use awk or sed. I use Perl for all programs of less than a thousand lines. Getting paid for it!

GEEK GNU/LINUX CODE [L++$]

I use GNU/Linux ALMOST exclusively on my system. I've given up trying to achieve GNU/Linux.God status, but welcome the OS as a replacement for DOS. I only boot to DOS to play games. Getting paid for it!

GEEK EMACS CODE [E]

Yeah, I know what emacs is, and use it as my regular editor.

GEEK WORLD WIDE WEB CODE [W++]

I have a homepage. I surf daily. My homepage is advertised in my .signature.

GEEK USENET CODE [N++]

I read all the news in a select handful of groups.

GEEK USENET ORACLE CODE [o?]

Usenet Oracle? I don't even know what that is...

GEEK KIBO CODE [K]

I know who Kibo is.

GEEK MICROSOFT WINDOWS CODE [w+(---)$]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I have installed my own custom sounds, wallpaper, and screen savers so my PC walks and talks like a fun house. Oh yeah, I have a hundred TrueType(tm) fonts that I've installed but never used. I never lose Minesweeper and Solitaire", to: "Windows has set back the computing industry by at least 10 years. Bill Gates should be drawn, quartered, hung, shot, poisoned, disembowelled, and then REALLY hurt." Getting paid for it!

GEEK OS/2 CODE [O-]

Tried it, didn't like it.

GEEK MACINTOSH CODE [M--]

Macs do more than suck. They make a user stupid by allowing them to use the system without knowing what they are doing. Mac weenies have lower IQs than the fuzz in my navel.

GEEK VMS CODE [V-]

Unix is much better than VMS for my computing needs.

GEEK POLITICS & SOCIAL ISSUES CODE [PS++]

I give to liberal causes. I march for gay rights. I'm a card carrying member of the ACLU. Keep abortion safe and legal.

GEEK POLITICS & ECONOMIC ISSUES CODE [PE]

Distrust both government and business.

GEEK CYPHERPUNKS CODE [Y+>++]

I have an interest and concern in privacy issues, but in reality I am not really all that active or vocal. But someday I'd like to say: "I am on the cypherpunks mailing list and active around Usenet. I never miss an opportunity to talk about the evils of Clipper and ITAR and the NSA. Orwell's 1984 is more than a story, it is a warning to our's and future generations. I'm a member of the EFF."

GEEK PGP CODE [PGP]

I've used it, but stopped long ago.

GEEK STAR TREK CODE [t++]

It's the best show around. I have all the episodes and the movies on tape and can quote entire scenes verbatim. I've built a few of the model kits too. But you'll never catch me at one of those conventions. Those people are kooks.

GEEK BABYLON 5 CODE [5-]

This show is sub-par. The acting is wooden, the special effects are obviously poor quality. In general, it seems like a very cheap Star Trek ripoff.

GEEK X FILES CODE [X+]

I've Converted my family and watch the show when I remember. It's really kinda fun.

GEEK ROLE-PLAYING CODE [R+]

I've got my weekly sessions set up and a character that I know better than I know myself.

GEEK TELEVISION CODE [tv-]

I watch tv for the news and 'special programming.'

GEEK BOOKS CODE [b+++]

I consume a few books a week as part of a staple diet.

GEEK DILBERT CODE [DI+++]

I am a Dilbert prototype.

GEEK DOOM CODE [D-]

I've played the game and really didn't think it was all that impressive.

THE GEEK CODE [G]

I know what the geek code is and even did up this code.

GEEK EDUCATION CODE [!e]

I refuse to categorize myself on Education.

GEEK HOUSING CODE [h-(++)*]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "Living with one or more registered Geeks.", to: "Living in a cave with 47 computers and an Internet feed, located near a Dominoes pizza. See !d."

GEEK RELATIONSHIPS CODE [r++]

I've dated my current S.O. for a long time.

GEEK SEX CODE [z?]

Gender undisclosed. It's none of your business what my sex life is like.
